Finally got a pair of prescription sunglasses for summer, but apparently polarised lenses are potentially dangerous for cyclists according to Redditors due to light playing weird tricks on you. On my first day wearing them the only interesting thing I noticed was my phone screen shimmering like a foil trading card

The only potential issue with polarized glasses is if you are a dentist who uses a cycle computer to monitor your heart rate, cadence, speed, and dual side power meters while riding on your cervelo. It makes it hard to read the screen.

I ride with polarized glasses all the time. Keeps the bugs out of my eyes (more important than the UV protection IMO).
